Raspberry
fools!
Uh-oh,
Cook and Line are
having a cooking
competition!
I
t was lunchtime on the
Scarlet Squid and Captain
Sinker was hungry!
“Cook! Bring me some lunch!”
she shouted.
Cook ran on deck with a bowl
of slimy green
stuff. “What’s this?”
asked Captain Sinker
suspiciously. Cook
held the dish out
proudly, “It’s
my new
seaweed
spaghetti
with... fish
gravy!”
Captain Sinker
quickly tucked in.
After just one
bite of the
slippery green
gloop, Captain
Sinker’s face
scrunched up,
and turned
green as she
spat it out.
Disgusting!
“Bleugh! That is the most
disgusting thing I have ever
tasted!” she cried, “Cook,
you’re fired!”
If you think Cook’s
seaweed spaghetti
tastes yucky, cheer
‘ahaar’!
“Who will
cook your
food?” wailed
Cook. “Line, you
can have the
job!” said
Captain Sinker.
Hmm, I
might be better
at cooking than
cleaning!
Line looked very
pleased with himself and stuck his
tongue out at Cook. “Line
doesn’t even know how to
cook!” said Cook crossly.
“Well, we’ll have a contest,” said
Captain Sinker. “The
pirate who cooks the
tastiest dish gets the
job! But don’t use pepper
because it makes me ah-ah-ahchoo... sneeze!” she ordered,
and off she marched.
Later, in the Captain’s Quarters,
Cook was busy making Captain
Sinker’s favourite dish –
raspberry fool. He just
needed some fresh raspberries,
sugar, cream and his secret
ingredient... slop! “I’ll be the
Captain’s cook again in no time!”
he cheered.
Cook started by
mashing the
raspberries together,
but then he pulled a big bag
of sugar open and it landed all
over his face. Oh dear!
“Line, pass me a towel please, I
can’t see!” he gasped, waving his
arms around. “Here, use this,”
said Line, but when Cook went
to dab his face... he felt a great
big splat instead. “That’s not
a towel, it’s squirty cream!” he
grumbled and Line giggled
mischievously. Poor Cook!
Oh no!
“What are you making, Line?”
asked Cook. “Raspberry fool!”
Line replied. “Oh no, I’m making
Raspberry fool too!” groaned
Cook. This was a disaster!
Cook suddenly had a
sneaky idea. “Oh
look, Line, a giant crab!” he
pointed. “Where?” trembled Line,
and he went off to see. Cook
quickly sprinkled some
pepper into Line’s
raspberry fool.
Then Line pointed out of the door.
“Look, Cook, a giant sea
monster!” Cook gasped and ran
over to the window but he
couldn’t see
anything. What
do you think
Line did next?
That’s right,
mateys,
Line
sprinkled
pepper in
Cook’s
raspberry
fool too!
Uh-oh!
Soon Captain Sinker returned.
First she tasted Cook’s
raspberry fool. “Eugh,” she
grumbled. Then she tried Line’s
raspberry fool. “Bleugh!” she
groaned, shaking her head!
“Well, they’re both
disgusting, so I suppose
Cook can keep his job,” she
said. “Hooray!” shouted Cook.
Suddenly, Captain Sinker made
a funny face. ”Was there
any pepper in those?”
she asked. Cook and Line both
looked very guilty. “Ah-ah-ahchoo!” She sneezed, knocking
the dishes flying upwards,
straight into Cook and Line’s
faces. Whoops! It
looks like Cook
and Line
are both
raspberry
fools
today!
Poor Cook
and Line!
